City Council to consider water meters in every flat
Opponents in Chicago warn installing water meters citywide will raise rents and burden tenants while benefiting meter makers. They urge state control and a nonpartisan engineering board to fix the water system, noting graft in the Water Department and underinvestment in pumping stations. They contrast Chicago with Upsala Sweden and Liverpool, arguing surplus water funds are misused and warn that metering would bring pestilence and higher costs for the poor.
